Chernobyl, the site of the world's worst nuclear accident will be opened to visitors in 2011 according to Ukraine's Emergency Ministry. After Chernobyl's No. 4 reactor exploded on April 26, 1986 a large exclusion zone was created around it which includes the city of Prypiat. Although Prypiat was later opened to tourists for guided day tours with tour operators, the power plant at Chernobyl has always been out of reach. However, in recent years radiation levels appear to have gone down enough to allow short visits without compromising safety.

Prypiat has always been a unique tourist attraction for the adventurous as it's one of the very few modern ghost towns, and the opening of Chernobyl should make it a better experience for those who dare to make a trip inside the exclusion zone.
